Edit inquiry

Hi, I am troubled by the wording in the third line of the "Theatre - 1981-1986" section. I suspect it should be worded "starring Liv Ullmann and directed by John Neville," unless he both starred in and directed the play.

I don't know the facts to make this change, so if anyone does, could you please make changes if needed? Thanks so much. Chezmoi (talk) 16:16, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Neville indeed both starred in and directed the play. ––FormalDude (talk) 23:55, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Name listed in Epstein case: Kevin Spacey

Kevin spacey documented having traveled via flight log to Epsteins' Island. 23.251.65.128 (talk) 22:55, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Misconduct section

As there are recent legal results that are relevant to the framing of the entire section, I will be commencing shortly a rewrite to the lede of this section to reflect the current status of the claims against Spacey, and am creating this talk section in advance of any work through needed.

While it is appropriate chronologically to list the Rapp incident as the initiating public incident on this topic, the fact that there have been numerous subsequent legal judgements since then (and connected to the initiating incident) is significant enough that those updates lead and contextualize the section.

Should the documentary Spacey Unmasked be mentioned in this article? Muzilon (talk) 09:03, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Kevin Spacey sexual misconduct allegations spun off into another article without consensus

It appears that Kevin Spacey sexual misconduct allegations has been spun off into another article without any consensus by a sockpuppet. Any thoughts on if it should stay or be merged back? Spinixster (trout me!) 00:47, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

I think it should be merged back *because* it was spun off without any discussion. Historyday01 (talk) 00:53, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Given the length of the article, I think the split makes sense. Not sure there's any reason to oppose it, even if it was created by a sockpuppet. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 04:51, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

The size of the article before the split is 6139 words. Afterwards, it's 4609 words. Per WP:SIZESPLIT, it may not warrant splitting. Spinixster (trout me!) 05:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Oppose merge; the split seems warranted; a merge would unbalance the target and I note that these is an appropriate summary. Klbrain (talk) 20:39, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Would it unbalance the target if it's only ~1.5k words? Plus, again, I should stress that a sockpuppet made the merge, so that should be something to note, too. Spinixster (trout me!) 00:51, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Shame about the sockpuppetry, but the split was a good move. It's an independently notable controversy and deserves an article that can detail it in greater detail than can be done here.LM2000 (talk) 20:32, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Well then, it should be expanded. Right now, it's just copy-and-pasted. Spinixster (trout me!) 00:46, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. Would overwhelm other article. The accusations & aftermath warrant a separate article. Djflem (talk) 11:33, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
